NEW LONDON – A 29-year-old New London man has been accused of urinating on a police car parked outside police headquarters Tuesday night.

According to police, a female officer arriving to work at 11:13 p.m. saw Mark Bass with his genitals exposed and urinated on a marked police car parked in the department's lot.

The officer stepped inside to notify the shift commander and get assistance. When officers returned, they found Bass lying on the ground partially under the police vehicle, police said.

When Bass, who was clearly drunk, police said, failed to obey officers' orders, he was patted down for weapons. Police said they found he was carrying a loaded Glock .40-caliber pistol. He has valid pistol permit, police said.

Two officers had to help Bass walk into the booking area, police said.

Bass had a small abrasion on his forehead, police said, but he couldn't explain how he got it.

Bass was charged with second-degree breach of peace and carrying a loaded firearm while under the influence of alcohol. He was released on a $2,500 bond.
